I've asked this before but why is this legally allowed or enforced? How is a hash of something equal to being the thing? Do copyright laws have specific sub-law

I've asked this before but why is this legally allowed or enforced? How is a hash of something equal to being the thing? Do copyright laws have specific sub-laws when it comes to digital media?
DMCA seems more like a hammer abused by corporations. It seems like laws are written solely for corporations.

There is a legal concept of "Contributory copyright infringement" which can make people liable for damages if they knowingly contribute, cause, or induce others to infringe on copyright. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contributory_copyright_infringement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contributory_copyright_infring... Does running a tracker do this? Maybe. OpenTrackr could find out what their court thinks by challenging rights owners until a case ends up there. Do they want to? Doesn't sound like it, so they remove the material.
